If you can't, then what's the point in even posting that?

I never liked him. Just a visceral thing.

She was his personal assistant and he was horrible to work for.

I've liked him since I saw him in Glengarry Glenn Ross. Amazing actor. He also does amazingly accurate, non-campy impersonations, a talent that fascinates me. His private personna is not an issue for me.

His impersonations Sunday night were pretty lousy. Are Carson and Clinton the best he's got? Because Carson is only going to appeal to the 50+ crowd. And Clinton's been done a million times before by much better impersonators.

Spacey was a big snoozy disappointment Sunday. I hope they bring back NPH, Hugh Jackman, or James Corden.

I have always respected Spacey's career, then respected him even more for his work on the portrayal of Bobby Darin in the 2004 film, Beyond The Sea. He did his homework regarding telling the story of his youth. I loved Darin-bought his 45's and lp's right after they hit the record racks at the local record shop.

If you watch the very end of the movie, as the curtain gets pulled I notice a quick two word tribute; "for Mother."

In an interview I read online right about the time Beyond The Sea was released, he talked about how much his parents loved music. They apparently had thousands of albums in their collection going back several decades. And Bobby Darin was in their personal top 5. Shortly before his mom died, she asked Kevin to try to work on a project regarding Darin.

He came through.

He is so talented in so many areas singing, dancing, acting and impressions. His acting capabilities are awesome as he can convey a message without even speaking a word by his mannerisms. Not a lot of actors now days can do that or are as multi talented as Kevin.

In this video look at his hairline the wigs he wears on House of Cards are very convincing to look real. I don't know why men just don't let their natural hairline show today.

Thanks for posting that video, it was very entertaining.

Can anyone (without looking it up on the Internet) name the well known actor ('former A list' actor) and actress (Academy Award nominee) who, at the same high school, were involved in the same school drama program with Spacey?
